The development of plant-based meat is drawing considerable attention from scientific and industrial communities. In this frame, textured vegetable proteins (TVP) are gaining a momentum as key ingredients in alternatives. This review aims to provide practical information about the current landscape TVP global market, production uses with special focus on advances challenges formulating Through mapping market landscape, main sources soy, wheat, pea that chiefly used available low- (LM-TVP)...
The food sector has witnessed a surge in the production of plant-based meat alternatives that aim to mimic various attributes traditional animal products. However, overall sensory appreciation remains low. This study employed open-ended questions, preference ranking, and an identification question analyze drivers barriers liking four burger patties, i.e., two (one referred as pea protein one animal-like burger), hybrid meat-mushroom, 100 % beef burger. Untrained participants (n = 175) were...
Abstract For centuries, ancient grains fed populations, but due to their low yield, they were abandoned and replaced by high‐yielding species. However, currently, there is a renewed interest in wheat pseudocereal from consumers, farmers, manufacturers. Ancient such as einkorn, emmer, spelt, Kamut®, are being reintegrated because of fertilizer input, high adaptability important genetic diversity. New trends products also emerging, mostly appreciated for nutritional outcomes, particularly the...
Algae are a source of functional ingredients, with large spectrum healthy and compounds. Therefore, this study aimed to provide an overview on commercialized food beverages made from algae derived emphasis the Spanish market, relying front-of-pack labeling. For reason, Mintel Global New Products Database was searched for foods containing “algae” launched during period 2015–2019. A total 13,090 items were found worldwide, including 5720 in Europe, which 436 Spain. Regardless market (global,...
Vegan alternatives to cheese (VAC) and yogurt (VAY) are fast-growing markets in Europe due the increasing interest plant-based dairy products. This study aimed take a closer look at year 2020 accordingly retrieved nutritional information of their vegan counterparts for comparison. It was found that VAY (n = 182) provide more energy, total fats, carbohydrates than 86), while saturated fatty acids (SFAs), sugars, salt were not different between two categories. Compared products (25.6%), 72.9%...
